Electrical Framework

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is seeking to establish a multisupplier Electrical Services Framework Agreement to support the delivery of electrical works across its estate. The framework will be used to appoint competent electrical contractors to undertake a wide range of electrical services, covering both minor and major works, as required by the Authority over the term of the framework. 2. Purpose of the Framework The purpose of this framework is to provide LCRCA with a compliant, flexible, and efficient mechanism to procure electrical works across all Authority-owned and operated properties, assets, and locations. The framework will support: Planned and reactive maintenance Statutory compliance works Page 2 to 10 Refurbishment and upgrade projects Capital works and major installations Framework Structure and Lots he framework will be divided into two (2) Lots, allowing suppliers to tender for one or both Lots, subject to meeting the relevant technical and financial requirements. LOT 1 - Minor Electrical Works Scope of Works Lot 1 will cover minor and low-value electrical works undertaken across the LCRCA estate. These works are typically reactive, short-duration, or low-complexity in nature and may be instructed at short notice. This will be a single supplier awarded LOT. Typical works under Lot 1 may include, but are not limited to: Minor repairs and fault finding Replacement of sockets, switches, lighting fittings, and accessories Emergency call-outs and reactive maintenance Small-scale alterations or additions to existing electrical installations Testing and inspection of minor works Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), where required Minor remedial works arising from inspection reports Works are expected to be undertaken in occupied buildings and operational environments, requiring contractors to work safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

These works are likely to involve larger projects, higher levels of coordination, and more complex technical requirements.
